Hey Al- I just checked his website and found me as my local dealer. Do we get a new ASD test set-up since we are now part of his "team"? I have the feeling he got a hold of the PCS list and maybe used that. Any ideas? Jack Jack's Custom Golf ZIP 34748!!!

I took a look at the below listed web site. Thought I would check on who was the closest of his dealers to me so I could inquire about the product, since he claims all of his dealers are qualified. Guess who my closest dealer is? ME!!! Well send me your shafts and for 20$ plus shipping I will whammy your equipment. Don't ask me about the secret method we use. If I told ya, I'd have ta kill ya. ;-) Al At 06:38 PM 2/3/2003, you wrote: >Bill ask that someone post this on Shoptalk > >Bru >I just read the article by Phil Talamonti of ASD that was published in >PubLinks magazine.
